On May 20, YG Entertainment officially revealed that Kang Seung Yoon of WINNER has confirmed for the forthcoming MBC drama, "Kairos."

"Kairos" is a fantasy-romance-thriller about a man named Seo Jin (Shin Sung Rok) who collapses in shock when his young daughter is abducted, and a lady called Ae Ri (Lee Se Young) who's still searching for her missing mom. 

The two, who exist simultaneously in the present and past, work together just to overcome the events that have pervaded them, and discover new facts and events in the process.

Kang Seung Yoon will portray the character of Ae Ri's friend, Lim Gun Wook. He is a vulnerable person and has no existence throughout the school. But when it comes to Ae Ri, he is willing to do whatever she asks and is there to support her whenever and wherever she wishes to. Gun Wook will play a significant role in her mother's hunt for Ae Ri.

The WINNER member, who is set to return to the acting scene for the very first time in over two years, has acted and had been featured in "High Kick" on MBC, "Revenge of the Short-Legged," "Love for a Thousand More," and on the "Prison Playbook" on tvN.

Kang Seung Yoon added, "I was fascinated as soon as I reviewed the manuscript for 'Kairos.' Following a prolonged time, I am very excited to be back as an actor. I always have a lot of room for improvement, but I will do my greatest not to become a hurdle to those with whom I work with. Look forward to this project for me and kindly watch it soon. Thank you!"

"Kairos" is scheduled to air in the second quarter of the year.

Kang Seung Yoon, referred to as Seungyoon or Yoon, is a South Korean singer-songwriter, recording artist, performer, and leader of WINNER. 

He actively took part in the reality TV singing competition Superstar K2 in 2010 and placed fourth. He had become a trainee under YG Entertainment in January 2011, and made his first appearance as a solo act in July 2013 and as WINNER's leader in August of 2014. 

In 2015, Seungyoon made appearances alongside co-agency artist Sandara Park as the leading character in the online drama "We Broke Up." The 10-episode drama was broadcast via Naver TV Cast from June 29 through July 17.

In December 2016, Seungyoon performed with fellow member Kim Jin Woo in the web drama series, "Love for a Thousand More." The online drama is produced jointly by CJ E&M, YG Entertainment, and YGKPlus.

He launched a soundtrack for the film, called "You." The same month, as a regular host, he led the cast of SBS's variety show "Flower Squad."

In 2017, Seungyoon was featured on tvN's "Prison Playbook." Seungyoon and co-member Song Mino have released the theme song "The Door" for drama series.

Rubin of 1Team described Seungyoon as his good example via a discussion since the day he interestingly watched him play Michael Jackson's "Black or White" on his route to the academy on Superstar K2. His passion for music has since evolved even more.
